Hello all,
I just registered and obviously this is my first post. A little about what I am looking for I have been in and out of Photography for the better part of 15 years as a hobby. I am looking to take it more to a part-time business aspect. I bought my first Mac eight years ago and the whole Adobe collection. Now my dilemma is this. I just upgraded my Powerbook G4 to a MacBook Pro With the new OS. My understanding is that I can not run my Adobe products on it because they were for OS 9 and there is no classic support on the New OS. So what Software outside of Photoshop should I purchase? I like using dream weaver and Illustrator I even dabbled with Indesign. But I want to focus mainly on Pictures and not so much on Web design. I have a decent DSLR camera with lenses. Bottom Line: there is so much out there that I dont want to be a jack of all trades and a master at none. What is the industry using and should I spend the money for all the Adobe Software?? Also any advice on Wacom tablets? Mine was damaged in transit in the mail and I need to upgrade it anyway it was an original Intuos graphics tablet.
Thanks,
Jerry
